Report Photokina 2010 - Sanyo introduces the VPC-PD1 camcorder with Full HD videos and 10 megapixel digital camera with 3x optical zoom. Minimal dimensions with maximum performance - that’s what the new pocket camcorder Xacti PD1 from SANYO has to offer. Although the ultra-compact PD1 (63.1 x 22.0 x 110.8 millimetres) is not much bigger than a mobile phone, the Sanyo Xacti PD1 mini camcorder comes with an impressive range of technical features. For example, the Sanyo Xacti PD1 camcorder can shoot videos in Full HD with 1.080 30p, and the 3x optical zoom allows you to zoom in clearly on distant objects. The Sanyo Xacti PD1 mini camcorder will be presented for the first time at the Photokina Show.

Sanyo announces the Xacti HD800, a new sleek, slim high definition dual camera that can take both stills and videos. The Sanyo camera sports a compact and light-weight body, and easily saves data onto SD/SDHC memory cards for convenience. The Sanyo HD800 will take stills and videos used on a personal computer or for the Web, houses a new three-dimensional digital noise reduction (3DDNR) filter, and adds the ‘Face Chaser’ for both stills and videos with an active scanner visible on the monitor. This new, stylish digital movie camera, the Sanyo HD800, will be sold in Japan starting from August 22, 2008.

At the Sanyo booth we were surprised to see the new Sanyo Xacti model that has just been release in Japan. We took some time to sort things out and manage to get an overview of the features of the new Sanyo Xacti DMX-CG6 digital compact camera. The Sanyo Xacti CA6 incorporates a richly detailed 6.37 Megapixel CCD and Sanyo's proprietary image-adaptive data processing technology. This ensures low noise in dark areas, as well as more beautiful realization of skin colors. A high-powered 5x optical zoom lens lets you get up close and personal with your subject, even more so if you pair it with the 12x digital zoom. In Europe the new Sanyo CG6 digital camera will be available next year.

Today Sanyo announced planned availability of the next generation in Sanyo's popular 8000 Series phones, the SCP-8400 by Sanyo Long considered Sanyo's "go-to" camera phone, the latest edition is packed with advanced features for entertainment and productivity including Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, high-resolution QVGA internal screen, music player, removable memory card, and the ability to operate on the high-speed Sprint Power Vision(SM) Network.
